Punctuating a campaign where the band launched a cryptic new website along with an ominous new visual for the instrumental track "Death March," Slipknot have pulled back the curtain in what has been a week of dominating the headlines.
Slipknot has announced their Adderall EP, a six-track effort which consists of alternate versions and reworkings of the track “Adderall”, in addition to non-LP tracks. The original studio version of “Adderall” is the first track on the band's 2022 full length studio album, THE END, SO FAR.
Coupled with the launch of the EP, Slipknot have delivered a second music video following the unveiling of the ominous "Death March" which arrived just yesterday. "Memories (Adderall - Rough Demo)" again finds M. Shawn Crahan asserting his unique vision as the director of the project.
The dazzling four-minute visual headtrip in tandem with the cinematic scope of the track showcases the depth of Slipknot. The Adderall EP is equal parts film score and artistic presentation and reiterates the continued evolution of a band that has built a legacy on defying expectation.
Weighing in on the new EP and the accompanying videos, clown shared, “Deconstructing to continuously pave the way for evolution. At this point in the program nothing is safe.”
The Adderall EP follows “Bone Church,” a surprise standalone single which dropped earlier this year with an accompanying M. Shawn ‘clown’ Crahan directed video piece titled “Yen – Director’s Cut (Bone Church),”– watch HERE. Since it's release, the “Bone Church” visual has tallied over one million views and counting.
